Welcome to Montchavin-la Plagne

One resort - two sites: Montchavin and Les Coches

Welcome to Montchavin

At the end of the 60s, the slow-down in farming and industrial sectors caused the exodus of the population (barely 20 people) from the Montchavin hamlet. The mayor, Auguste Mudry, wanted to give his village a new life. He had a visionary project and turned the village towards a dynamic and profitable activity - summer and winter tourism.

Michel Bezançon and Guy Champ were appointed to renovate the village New buildings were built on the outskirts (on the edge of the pistes and on the slopes, etc.), and the centre of the village was renovated, and local shops and services moved in.

The constructions respect the traditional Savoie architectural style (stone and wood chalets) with buildings no more than 5-floors high, contributing to the charm of the village which has a family atmosphere.

Welcome to Les Coches

Ten years later, it was Les Coches turn to be developed. The Bezançon agency was once again appointed to build the resort on empty mountain pasture. The first building, baptised La Clef, was opened and inaugurated in 1981. Just like Montchavin, Les Coches is created with a mountain village style architecture - varnished roofs and dark wood cladding - with the buildings scattered down the slope.

Forty years later, Montchaving-La Plagne is one of La Plagne’s biggest resorts. And since 2003 it is home to one of the famous Vanoise Express stations, which takes you to the fabulous Paradiski ski slopes.
